My company uses the Drawing Requirements Manual (DRM, ISBN 1-57053-034-3) published by Global Engineering Documents as our drafting standard. I realize there is a world of industry standards out there, but our company feels that the DRM is a very concise compilation of the most useful information from the world of standards. We do engineering on commercial aircraft, and the DRM seems to do fine for us.

Do others out there use the DRM? Like it? Hate it?

I have used the Global DRM in the past and feel that it is a very good standard, especially for any type of govt drawings. We currently use the Genium Modern Drafting Practices and Standards DRM, which is also an excellent guide to the current standards.
 
Deb,

I too agree with ewh, that Global DRM is a very good resource. We used it at my last company. Now I am working off of a bastardization of the Boeing drafting manual, and in comparison, I'd rather go back...

That said.. I wonder if anyone actually has a full fledged (sp) copy of the "real" Boeing Document... I'd love to take a gander at it..

Hi Chris,

Is that something you could e-mail my way? I have little to offer short of sincere appreciation.

Thanks,

Chuck,
I tried before, but it is broken into secure sites on-line.
The best I can do is let me know what you are looking for and I can search for it.

I checked with GLOBAL last week and they are no longer updating their DRM. GENIUM PUBLISHING's DRM started out as the GE DRM. GP purchased the rights to it, sells it and maintains it. You can get a network-served CD that satisfies simultaneous users or any combination of hard copies and CDs. This is a good feature as the electronic copy can be search for key words and phrases.
